I Will Cast My Cares on You

Lord, Take my burdened heart,
Take it with all my cares
For though my wounds their pain impart,
My burdens you will bear

Lord, Take my burdened soul,

Take them to be Your own ;

Here where the waves of sorrow roll

Your mercy you have shown

I will cast my cares on You

Give to you my weary way

You bear the burdens of my soul

And my fears are cast away

Lord, Take my burdened life ;

Give me Your yoke to share

For it is free of human strife

It is easy and light to bear

Lord, Take my burdened day ;

Make me to soar on high ;

Then when the shadows stop the way,

All cloudless is my sky.

I will cast my cares on You

Give to you my weary way

You bear the burdens of my soul

And my fears are cast away

Lord, Take my burdened will

Renew my striving mind

For where You bid my storm be still,

Perfect freedom I will find.

I will cast my cares on You

Give to you my weary way

You bear the burdens of my soul

And my fears are cast away

Yes my fears are cast away.

1 Peter 5:7
